The Robber

Mathew

I'm trying so hard to listen to Rebecca because as it turns out, she's actually kinda cool, but I can feel him. Hes at least 30ft away from me and I can feel his presence. I didn't even need to look up to know it was him. Our encounter keeps replaying in my mind which turns me on so fast, but then memories flood back in and my walls go back up immediately.
    God I'm so unbelievably fucked.
    Then he starts walking towards me. What's going on? That bitch Olivia, I think that's her name, who interrupted us yesterday, is walking with him. They're laughing and giggling and oh my god does Loe look adorable. His outfit is driving me nuts. It gives me so much room to imagine. The only thing I do really get to see is his collar bone. The sweater is so big on him that it hangs low enough to let me see his right collar bone and oh my god is it a hot collar bone.
    As they walk by, I take a deep breath in as his shoulder just barely touches my back. The touch sends me over the edge. His smell makes my eyes roll back. He smells like flowers and the woods. It's so intoxicating.
   
    "Hey are you ok?" Rebecca asks

    "What?" Damn she brought me back to reality

    "You look like you just had a stroke. Like youre eyes rolled back and you looked like you were gonna fall over"

    "Oh yeah. I'm good. Thanks for worrying though" I was honestly baffled why this girl was worried about me. She barely even knew me.
   
    "Wait, I know that look! You like someone!"

    "W-w-w-w-What? N-n-no I don't!"

    "Oh now I know you do! It obviously isn't a girl so who is it? Hmmm is it-"

    "I'm going to head to class. I will see you later. Cool bye."
    I nearly run away from Rececca. I can feel that my cheeks and ears are flushed but at this point I don't care. I can't have that conversation right now. I burst through the auditorium doors and spot Leo immediately. We make eye contact again and I can't help myself. I know it will be torture and I wont get anything done but I need to sit next to him. I need his smell near me. As I'm walking over I notice Olivia whisper something in Leo's ear and she runs away.
    YES! All to myself.
    I reach Leo right as he tries to get up and leave. I grab his arm, "Sit" I demand and plead at the same time. Thank god Leo complies. We might have had a problem if he didnt.
   
    "You drove me nuts in the hallway out there" I state

    "S-s-sorry" He whispers back.

    "Don't pretend you didn't mean to"

    "I-i-i might have tried to just a little bit. I mean you were talking to Rebecca 'the sexiest girl in school'" He says that last part with air quotes.

    "That's great but I don't want a girl and she knows it too. She came onto me and I very quickly let her know it wasn't a lady I was seeking" I reply "Now we're just friends"

    "Huh. O-o-ok"

    "I don't want you to be afraid of me" I whisper in his ear. He sucks in a sharp breath.

    "I'm not"

    "Then why do you always seem so nervous around me?"

    "I'm not actually nervous, I'm-"
    Then I heard a loud boom, I saw a flash of light, and the power went out.
